While digital panoramic photography taken along travelling routes is very popular, digital panoramic strip maps are virtually nonexistent. In this article, we explore the characteristics of panoramic strip maps and provide an interactive method for their digital creation, focusing on the challenge of straightening curved routes. The resulting software Terrain Bender implements a geometric defor...

This paper deals with the development of the WienerHopf method for solving the diffraction of waves at fine strip-slotted structures. The classical problem for diffraction of plane wave at a strip is an important canonical problem. The boundary value problem is consecutively solved by a reduction to a system of singular boundary integral equations, and then to a system of Fredholm integral equa...

TThis paper gives a design method for a model predictive control (MPC) approach based on a unified performance index throughout the start-up phase tension and looper control which consists of the non-contact and contact modes in order to suppress the deviation of the strip tension while the looper contacts with the strip as quickly as possible. We will formulate the control problem by using a M...

F Bhadrakom, 1 and Helmer have employed spirally cut strips of rabbit aorta in a bioassay method for estimation of urinary levels of catechol amines. In attempting to use this method for determination of adrenal venous plasma levels of epinephrine and norepinephrine, the possibility arose that adrenal steroids might alter the contraction of rabbit aortic smooth muscle produced by these eatechol...

Paper-based test strips specific for the Cr(VI) determination in aqueous solutions were developed by impregnating a color-forming reagent, diphenylcarbazide, and a quaternary ammonium salt (Aliquat 336) into paper sheets. The results showed that the quaternary ammonium salt could effectively retain the colored complex in the paper substrate. This paper-based test strip showed a high selectivity...

Statistical restricted isometry property (STRIP) was recently formulated by Calderbank et al. to analyze the performance of deterministic sampling matrices for compressed sensing. In this paper, we study the STRIP by taking advantage of concentration inequalities using Stein’s method. In particular, we derive the STRIP performance bound in terms of the mutual coherence of the sampling matrix an...

In this paper we have analysed and designed a rectangular microstrip antenna. We analyzed micro strip antenna in IE3D by finite moment of method. In this paper we have compare and analyzed the micro strip antenna in infinite ground plane having dimension length, L = 700mil & width, W=800mil to the micro strip antenna in finite ground plane having dimension length, L = 1468mil & width, W=1568mil...

The objective of this paper is to summarize recent research and experiences with computational modeling of cold-formed steel conducted within the author’s research group at Johns Hopkins University. This admittedly biased view of computational modeling focuses primarily on the use of the semi-analytical finite strip method and collapse modeling using shell finite elements. Issues addressed incl...

In this paper, a hybrid intelligent parameter estimation algorithm is proposed for predicting the strip temperature during laminar cooling process. The algorithm combines a hybrid genetic algorithm (HGA) with grey case-based reasoning (GCBR) in order to improve the precision of the strip temperature prediction. In this context, the hybrid genetic algorithm is formed by combining the genetic alg...
